Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0916862A2] A propeller thrust bearing assembly of the type incorporating a spherical rolling bearing (4) provided on a shaft (1) and abutting a shoulder (2), and a spherical thrust bearing (6), incorporating a shaft washer (6b) fitted on the shaft, a housing washer (6c) provided in a housing (3) surrounding the shaft and a set of rolling bodies provided between the shaft washer and the housing washer, a spacing sleeve provided between the spherical rolling bearing (4) and the spherical thrust bearing, and a lid member (9) attached to the housing (3) and adapted to urge the housing washer (6c) against the set of rolling bodies and via this against the shaft washer (6b), whereby the axial distance between the two bearings (4, 6) is such that their force lines (4a, 4b; 6a) meet in a point (7) situated on the centre axis of the shat, whereby the spherical rolling bearing (4) has a taper bore and is mounted on a withdrawal sleeve (5), and the spacing sleeve (8) has internal threads and is screwed onto the withdrawal sleeve (5), and a tubular member (12) is arranged about the shaft (1) and is adapted to keep the shaft washer (6b) pressed against the rear end of the spacing sleeve (8) facing away from the spherical rolling bearing (4), which tubular member (12) is secured in position by means of a locking nut (13) screwed onto threads of the shaft. <IMAGE>
